Trans Hotline 877-565-8860

I hope you don’t mind I borrowed your idea. It inspired me to do this. I might even read it in person at an @contesteveryrace.bsky.social event next weekend. #CERWhyIVote I vote because:

Something that stood out to me when speaking to young Black women in Greensboro who went to vote: They are fully aware of what their ancestors and grandparents did to win them the right to vote and they don't take that for granted. #NCPol #NCSen thepoliticalspectrum.substack.com/p/theyre-att...

The Trump administration has worked to portray itself as protecting women and girls through their anti-trans policies. Meanwhile, they've worked tirelessly to undermine protections against sexual assault. Wither Title IX, in this exceptional new reported story by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social.

New: OutYouth, an LGBTQ+ youth program in Austin, says it's briefly closing for safety reasons because it was mentioned in the fake trans resource guide pamphlets that went out this week across Texas - www.chron.com/culture/arti...

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

Serbia’s longtime leader Aleksander Vučić has been swept out of power by a historic student-led opposition movement against Vučić’s right-wing Serbian Progressive Party.

NEW: After the Guilford County Board of Elections denied students in Greensboro an on-campus polling site, many young Black students turned out on the final day of Souls to the Polls. It could make the difference in #NCPol #NCGA thepoliticalspectrum.substack.com/p/theyre-att...

Calling out churches for violating the law isn’t “persecution” or “intimidation.” Churches are free to preach whatever they want, but tax-exempt status comes with rules. If pastors want to operate as political operatives, they can pay taxes like everyone else.

He’s literally giving Dems campaign ad material.

Good. She’s a transphobe, but even they don’t deserve this kind of treatment.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Josh Turek’s rank bigotry is a betrayal of American values. His stance on trans rights is to the right of West Virginia, Alabama & seven other red states’ laws. Dems are +9 on trans issues; there is no moral or political reason to take this stance except to oppress trans people. Turek is a traitor.

Amy Acton did not come recently to her bigotry. This is 2016, when she was lead defendant in Ohio refusing to allow trans people to correct their birth certificates.

As the gentry try to normalize transphobia in every avenue of life, a common talking point they love to share is the alleged high 'detransition' and 'regret' rates among trans people. These allegedly high rates are completely false, and based on bunk science. 🧵

“No Iowan should face discrimination“. Unless they’re trans, right @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social ? Jackass.

Over half of all mail ballots spoiled in North Carolina’s largest county are due to new strict rules passed by the GOP-controlled state board of elections. The county is also a Democratic stronghold that could sway election results in the battleground state.

As his policies bankrupt them, Trump-supporting farmers fully embrace socialism. But only if it’s for them.

THIS!

It gets even more wild than this. 58.7% of registered Democrats who voted in the primary and 53.6% of Unaffiliateds who pulled a Dem primary ballot have voted already. Those numbers are 38.5% and 38.0% respectively for Republican primary ballots.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

While this is accurate and I suspect someone does need to hear it— Disabled people need your advocacy because we are disabled now. I sincerely hope by the time it catches up with the nondisabled people reading this we’re in a better place, but we are radically endangered right now. Help us.

NEW: Blanche claims DOJ's Alaska lawsuit doesn't seek to block certification of the state's election results. The actual complaint says it does. His attempt to reframe the lawsuit is a bid to push back against how it's been correctly interpreted: a dangerous effort to subvert the midterms.

The cop who shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley at a Walmart in Mississippi has resigned. State prosecturors declined to press charges against Hunter Foster and said the shooting was justified. Kohen Wiley's family is calling for a federal investigation. 🧵

Medicare for all. NOW.

Trump’s scheme to enlist Congressional Republicans to refuse to seat victorious Democrats after the midterms would be complicated and far-fetched. But experts say ignoring even implausible hypotheticals would be naive: https://demdock.com/4hYsmsM

A pilot study in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and persistent psychosis, reported in npj Acoustics, shows that transcranial ultrasound stimulation produced a signal consistent with a possible treatment effect on delusions in patients with chronic psychosis. 🧪

Something I wish more people would realize.

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

A reminder that Bolsonaro’s father plotted to stay in power by poisoning Lula, assassinating the Vice President, and murdering a Supreme Court justice after losing his reelection bid. He is currently serving a 27 year prison sentence for his crimes. Any wonder why Trump is helping his son?

I was not prepared for this ending! I love it and the thread. Recommend.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...
